The house has charm and everything is spotlessly clean. The warmth and commitment of Fatima is particularly worth mentioning. She is the perfect host, is always in a good mood and has an open ear for questions. Downtown with its sights can be reached on foot in about 15 minutes. There are very good and reasonably priced restaurants off the main tourist routes. With the exception of the ‘tripe’, we tried all the classics of regional cuisine, thumbs up. On Fatima's recommendation, we visited authentic restaurants in the neighbourhood of the ‘Dukes’ with a small number of tourists and were not disappointed. She also gave very good tips for sightseeing and excursions in the Porto area. If you have enough time, you should definitely take a trip to the Douro Valley, possibly to Braga, of course taste some port wines and (my personal highlight) take a guided Segway tour through Porto. We enjoyed our stay at the 'Dukes' very much. All highly recommended, we would love to come back.

There really was nothing to complain about.

Wow! From the moment we arrived Fatima made us feel very special. Every morning at breakfast nothing was a problem, fresh orange juice ,selection of cereal, cooked eggs in different ways made especially for you. Every requirement was fulfilled and every question regarding sights to see and where were answered. We enjoyed our stay very much and will recommend Dukes Corner to all our friends. Being a small hotel makes it better, you become more than just a number and it didn’t go unnoticed. Thank you once again to Fatima and colleagues keep doing everything you do and the way you do it. One in a million!

Nothing

Among many things I didn’t know about Porto was its friendliness to walkers and the location of the house so you can walk comfortably ten to fifteen minutes to the city center and even try different directions. I like to discover the city from its streets, so I didn’t do much seeking for the attractions upfront. They have several guides, but the personnel had given me practical tips for the bridge and R. de Santa Catarina to try during my first breakfast, and they were well rewarded. The breakfast was amazing, quite a selection of what you might need in the morning with good coffee, big oranges, and Pastéis de Nata makes it something worthy to look forward. I am not much into night pub crawling, so I haven’t tried some small restaurants around in the evening, but they definitively seemed much more local, than those in the city center. The overall quiet feeling of the suburb made me feel like enjoying the stay from the local perspective. In the evenings, you can do some more research on the internet, which was quite fast (I did some school), but I also noticed they had cable TV (which looked tempting :) By the way, the rooms felt clean, likeways at least for me looked whole city of Porto.

The hotel is located in a (yet) less-'touristic' part of Porto, with nice cafés and restaurants around, but close to the centre with the metro, which is closed by. It's easy to reach from the main train station and airport. The staff was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay, even preparing an earlier breakfast when we had to take an earlier train due to industrial action at the airport. The room was clean and very comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay and will very gladly stay again.

Reception closes a bit early (18h), but staff were at hand to help if we needed to arrive after that hour.

I loved the location which is not central, but quiet and close to very nice cafes and restaurants. The room was nice, it was enough for me and my mum to stay for a few days. We also loved the big balcony and access to garden (more sth like patio). But the biggest asset is the staff- they were so welcoming and helpful. I especially want to thank a young girl who worked at the reception (l missed your name, sorry)- she learnt about us leaving early and not only ordered a taxi for us at 6am, but also left some breakfast packages in our rooms as well😍

The shower cabin can be leaking. I tried to be careful, but l guess l had troubles with the door or sth.

As a solo traveler, I want to feel safe where I stay. Fátima was a welcoming host and very kind. She made me feel at home the moment I walked in. The room was perfect (very clean and bathroom was very clean) for my stay as I had everything I needed. Breakfast was perfect, especially the scrambled eggs. Arriving late at night and dehydrated, Fátima got me water and was so kind. The location was great too, could walk to the bridge and waterfront as well as train station to travel to Lisbon. Highly recommend staying here, especially if you want to feel safe as a solo traveler.

Friendly staff. Helped with the bags. Lovely breakfast. Location away from the main center but had a different charm. Lots of local shops and restaurants. Authentic food. Easy to get a Bolt or Uber to anywhere . The staff were the only positive.

We got a room on the second floor. Really tough climb for people with asthma and respiratory challenges. Maybe they should mention the floor at the time of booking. The room was really small. The square feet mentioned on the site also included the bathroom. No space for bags or to move. The air conditioning was not very effective. The shower cabinet was tiny. Maybe the bigger rooms are fine, but the room we got was a challenge for two people. No cupboards and no space for anything. Not comfortable at all.

We last stayed here in 2020, pre-Covid, and am glad to report that it is just as great as we remembered it. This charming building is located ten minutes walk from the city centre and five minutes walk from the metro station that connects to the airport so is super convenient. Our room was bright, spacious, clean and comfortable with high quality linens and everything we needed. Breakfast each morning was plentiful and varied with freshly squeezed orange juice. But the standout feature at Dukes Corner is the staff, they are so friendly and helpful, especially Fatima, who cannot do enough for you, with lots of thoughtful little details. An absolute bargain for the quality.

Nothing it's all great.

We were very pleasantly surprised at how well decorated and how clean the apartment was. My daughter lost a ring and while looking we discovered that even the area under the bed was spotless! The neighborhood was quiet and away from the crowds, but within a 10-minute walk to the action. Breakfast was great, especially the fresh squeezed juice and the eggs made to order. But the most memorable thing about Dukes Corner was how warm and friendly and helpful Fatima was. She treated us like friends right from the first moment. We hope to come back one day.

We got lucky and found parking directly across the street, but I would imagine parking could be a challenge.

Good location: ca. 12 mins easy walking to the river front, and ca. 15-20 mins to Campahna train & bus station (in case you want to dash out for a day visit to, say, Braga, Coimbra or Guimaraes). OK breakfast with decent choice (on the first morning we even were offered made-at-request omelette; not on the second morning though...).

Room was decent in size and furniture, but kind of simple, "backpacker style" (and with slightly tilted floors :). Toilet and shower was behind the rather thin plankboard walling, thus almost without soundproofing.
